| Having problems with our Yorkie Mason is now roughly 4 years old. He's the cutest little guy and loves attention. He's always happy to see us and can pull us out of a bad mood even after a rough day at work! But, I'm having some problems that are really frustrating our whole family. He barks at anything and I mean anything! He'll bark when the doorbell rings, when guests come over, when guest leave, if he hears something at night, etc, etc... It really can be quite stressful! We also have a 8 month old and I think that he is a little jelious. Mason used to get the attention and now it has been turned to our new baby. I feel aweful for him but there is nothing that we can do. Even though our situation isn't ideal for a yorkie there is noooo way we'd ever give him up. What can I do to calm our little buddy down? |

| Do have some one on one time with him and bring him out for walks. Walks and exercise helps a dog a lot. He may have felt the stress and if he has no where to let it out, he'll let it out in ways that he is not supposed to. If things are crazy at home, you may need to keep your emotional state in check as well as to not let your dog feed the negative energy off you.

| Have you tried pennies in a can? If you fill up a can with coins and shake it and repeat "quiet" everytime they bark, it usually distracts them from what they're barking at and they learn to keep quiet. Jackson will still bark if someone knocks on the door but it's usually a quick 4 or 5 protective barks and then he's quiet. He's gotten a lot better since using the can.
